The Passion of Others
From the moment I wake up
To the time I lay down
My day goes about
Observing all around town
The people I pass
From streets and through lanes
Their passion they put forth
And their focus on the gains
From the teacher who lectures
To the performers who dances
From the doctors who heals
And to those who takes chances
No matter the agony
The sweat, tears, and blood
They strive to go forward
Despite the slip in the mud
They put all their all
In the work that they do
And that’s what gives me hope
To do so too
And one day I hope
To find a purpose like theirs
To inspire others
With motivating flares
Maybe that day will come
When one day I will show
But for now I will keep observing
And go with the flow
